The department of revenue saw the biggest jump in the number of cases from 37 in 2018 to 54 in 2019. Similarly, the department of municipal administration and urban development (MAUD) recorded 25 cases in 2019 against 15 in 2018.

Pandey, a 1986-batch officer, who is currently posted as Director General (Home Guards), has stated that since he is the seniormost officer in the state after DGP Subodh Jaiswal, he should have been considered for the posts of Mumbai Police commissioner and DG ACB.

In the first case, the ACB officials had received an information that GPCB officer Rajesh Patel has been collecting bribes from different industries in Palsana GIDC and was on his way to Ahmedabad on Saturday.
